The Cubs have agreed to acquire flame-throwing lefty relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman from the Yankees for four players, according to various reports.
The Yankees will get shortstop Gleyber Torres, the Cubs No. 1 prospect, as well as pitcher Adam Warren and outfield prospect Billy McKinney. That's a significant haul for a relief pitcher who will be a free agent at season's end.
